PAWannabe:
seem to find the right arrow for my bow. :( I'm shooting a 50-55 lb selfbow. 29" draw. Slight shelf cut... right handed. All of the arrow I have shot are hitting left.  I guess this tells me I'm overspined. I've tried Easton 2016 with a 145 gr point and 45-50 poplars with a 145 gr. point. I just bought a jig and would like to begin fletching my own arrows but am not sure where to begin. I'd like to hunt with 170 gr trade points this fall, so I guess I need to get 165 gr field points to be close. Do I stick with the 45-50 in a Port Orford with the added weight up front or go with a weaker spine?  ???

I'm pretty new to archery and very new to the primitive side. Thanks for your help.

go cut you some river cane shafts, fletch them up put on some points and go stump shooting! Really it isn't as critical as with a compound ;) Buck

Justin Snyder:
Yes, start with the 45-50, leave them long and heavier points.  If the spine is still to heavy you can sand the last 6 inches (nock end) and reduce the spine. If it is to weak you can cut 1/2" off the arrow.  Justin

PAWannabe:
Thanks!  Justed ordered some POC 45-50. I'll leave them long and put some more weight up front and see how they fly.

huntertrapper:
good luck with you shooting PA
